Hi, my name is Lyn and I have been operating the Dunedin South Franchise of Driving Miss Daisy since October 2012. Together with my partner Rob we cover the area from St Clair, down the eastern seaboard to Milton, and encompassing Mosgiel/Outram and the greater Taieri area.

Prior to purchasing the Dunedin South franchise I worked for the Department of Corrections for 26 years. One of the greatest parts of this role was interacting with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. As well as spending many years in developing and mentoring new and existing staff.

We have proudly been operating in the Dunedin South area for 4 years. I have built up a reliable and trustworthy Daisy team to cater for all of your needs. Starting with 1 car in 2012, we now boast having 4 in our ever growing fleet. Our latest addition is the VW Caddy – Wheelchair accessible vehicle, which is available on request.

Whether you wish to design a trip for you or a family member, we have a variety of clients who use us for weekly shopping , appointments at their doctors or hospital, or whether it is just an outing for coffee or a meal. This does not have to be individually we will cater for group outings, if you wish to take a friend or two. We are happy to cater for all and no trip/ adventure is too big or too small.

We are a registered vendor with ACC as well as being a provider for the Total Mobility scheme supported by the Otago Regional Council. If you require any more details please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss.

I am proud to have opened and operated Driving Miss Daisy in the Southern area of Dunedin from 2012 and our team looks forward to meeting you all, and being there to help you along the way no matter what your needs may be.
